Digital transformation and green total factor productivity: A contingency perspective on spatial and social embeddedness.
Article in iScience, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Green high-quality development requires balancing environmental sustainability with manufacturing growth. Using data from Chinese publicly listed firms from 2012 to 2021, this study demonstrates that digital transformation (DT) significantly increases green total factor productivity (GTFP) in the manufacturing sector. This finding remains robust across endogeneity and specification tests, including instrumental variable approaches and Heckman selection models. Mechanism analysis reveals that both market competition and public environmental concern positively moderate the DT-GTFP nexus. Heterogeneity analysis indicates that this positive impact is more pronounced in the eastern regions, during the early stages of DT, and among small-scale enterprises and non-heavily polluting industries. This study highlights the critical role of manufacturing DT in driving green development and offers flexible policy implications for aligning industrial upgrading with public aspirations for a higher quality of life.
